After nssertlntr that the announced
ulvunco in tiro Insurance rales In
..Philadelphia "is evidently based upon
im other Men than that or terrifying
the' owners of property and exacting
from them as much as It is believed
they can ho made to pay, that IiIkIi
salaried olllelala may carry on their
business upon an cxtravugnnt basis ot
costs," the Times ot that, city asks,
"What are the vnoperty owners and
business men of Philadelphia Koinjr to
do about it?" We do not know for a
certainty, but wo can guess. They will
do nothing except pay the new rate,
grumble awhile and dually look pleas
ant. That is all that Is left for thein
to do. "
Blind Lenders of the Blind.
XE OP TWO things seems
certain -to come to pass,
and at a date not dis
tant, as time is measured' la
history. Hither the Kepubliean party
must accept the wise prompting
of AVIllam JleKinley to ameliorate
the inequalities of superlluous Protec
tion through tariff concessions to other
countries reciprocal In character, fol
lowing the principle of give and take;
or it will be swept oilt of olllce and a
period of tariff revision by hands less
friendly to the Protective principle will
ensue.
Tho amazing fact In connection with
the row in congress over Cuba relief is
that so few Republicans foresee this.
The opposition to small concessions to
a dependent little island, peculiarly
bound to the American system, which
has been disclosed during ,thls ob
structed performance of a plain duty
has amounted to a challenge to that
-creat- and si-owing sentiment wljhln
the Republican party which agrees
with arcKlnley that, high Protection
having done its appointed work by
nuturlng home Industries capable of
underbidding "foreign competitors In
their own markets, it is now time to
supplement it by trade arrangements
with foreign countries which will in
sure our holding the foreign trade al
ready won and aid its increase
wherever possible.
We believe it is not an exaggeration
to say that 00 per cent, of the Republi
cans of the United States are cordially
in sympathy with the McKlnley and
Roosevelt position In this matter and
KJ
out of sympathy with the special inter
ests which interpose selfish and large
ly unfounded obstructions. Discussion
has simply intensified their convictions,
while at the same time the exhibition
of the power of special Influences
nt Washington has filled them
, with suspicion and distrust. Here
tofore tho charge that their repre
sentatives were under the thumb of
special Interests has proceeded' mainly
from Democratic sources and been dis
counted accordingly; but now there
has been an exhibition bound to have
a damaging effect among the Republi
can people.
Out of this -situation a temporary
peace may come; but It will bo for the
moment merely. Grout Issues are pend
ing which must sharply divide those
I who bellevo In legislation for the great
est good for the greatest number as
measured by standards of conscience
and honor, and those whoso loyalty Is
to special interests Hint. The Repub
lican party has heretofore boon a nu
tlonul party and a people's party. It
cannot be less In the future If it would
live.

Of Par-Reaching Importance.
10 NOTKD yesterday 'and
briefly replied to the
questions '"f the Now
J
York Him, asked In con
nection with tho government's bill of
equity against the Northern Securities
company, namely, "Cannot any cltlxt'n,
for example, Mr. John Plorpont Mor
gan, buy and possess shares, to the ex
tent of his purse, In tho Northern Pa
cini! rallroad'or In 'this Great Northern
railroad, or In both? And cannot any
other citizen, say tho Northern Secur
ities company of New Jersey, do the
sunie?"
The Philadelphia Press answers these
questions more fully and hiings( clearly
before the public the Important issues
In this litigation. Says the, Prfcss:
"Corporate lights as to holding prop
erty differ, us all know, from t lie rights
ot natural persons. A man can own all
the property he can legally nchuirc. No
limit is set by law to his bowings. A.
corporation, If the law choose can only
have n certain amount of capital, and
the amount of property a corporation
can bold It!, In manv csls.) dti.y lim
ited aud may always be limited by Its
creator, The light of Mr. Plerpont
Morgan to own properly Is therefore
not tho same In kind or in degree as
that of tho Northern Scciriltles com
pany. Whether under our system the
light ot a man to hold property could
or could not be limited has never been
raised. Rut there is no doubt that New
Jersey could limit the rii;ht of tho
Northern Securities company to in
crease its estate Indefinitely Whether
congress could limit or has limited the
right of ii state corporation to own
shares In corporations cohipellng In
interstate commerce, thus eliminating
competition, Is another Issue.
"The paramount Issue, therefore,
which underlies this epoeh-jnaking suit
Is whether tho state corporation, or
ganized as a mere 'holdbifr company'
or corporate makeshift, can grow to
any size, own any amount of property,
or eliminate any competition by buy
ing the competing eorpoijitions, or
whether congress can limit lv regulate
this ownership In matters 'elating to
interstate commerce. All issues arc
small byr tho side of this Issue. So far
as
: the trust and railroad eti novations
o concerned, nothing coul)be worse
an a decision that congis cm do
ar
th
iiuumiK. jei. mis ease snoiv i oat. :ik
the attorney general's bill uve's: 'The
entire railway system of tlnl ountry
may be' -absorbed, merged ainf consoli
dated, thus placing the public at thr
absolute mercy of the holding ioipor
ntion,' and drastic legislation is cer
tain. Competition may be wise or un
wise in transportation; but 11 is the
law and not capital which must decide
when competition Is to cease, to the
end that this may' be a land ruled not
by men, however rich, able :,u d enter
prising, but by law."
Looked at in this light, it
n be M-en
that the questions raised in
t no gov-
ernmonfs suit to to the veil- heart of
the so-called "trust" or tiinblmuion
Issue. Is it now lawful lor o he corpor
ation to acquire control of Jan entire
industry? Jf it Is, should it 'be': If it
is not, should it be, and on wfiat frnis?
Tho sweep of such an ImWilry is al
most infinite in Its bearing upon pres
ent business conditions: but it is obvi
ously essential that the power of gov
ernment in these premises should bo
defined.
Miss Helen Griggs, daughter of the
recent attorney-general, who has for
mally embraced Christian Science, Is in
danger uf becoming as familiar to the
reading public as some of tho thankful
people who have been "cured" by some
of the well known proprietary articles.
General De In Rej
T HAS 11KRX the misfortune of
the lloer leaders to be compara
tively unknown to the great ma
jority of spectators of -the South
African tragedy, Nov can It bo said
that tho developments of the Avar, suv
Piislng us some of them have been,
have done much to make them better
known. It Is true that their works
speak for them; but In this age of per
sonal gossip and anecdotal biography
curiosity calls for much movo than Is
known about such men,, at 15otha, Do
AVet and, last but not least, General
Methuen's captor, Jacob llcndrlck De
la Roy. Fortunately thero Is available
some light upon the career and per
sonality of tho latter.
Michael Difvltt. the famous Irishman,
who visited the Roevs dining tho early
part of their struggle and iiuulo the ue
quuintnnce of most of their leaders, Is
about to-publish a book telling of his
observations and- experiences. From
advance slips furnished by the Amer
ican publishers', Funk & Wagnnlls, wo
learn that It was General Ue la lley
who planned tho first victory won by
the Hoevs, the capture of nu armored
train at Krutilpnn, and who laid and
sprung the trap at Jlageisfontcln
which caught and decimated tho fa
mous Highlanders. To hliu aud Do
Vct Mr. Davltt accords Jointly the
cicdlt for tho abandonment by tjio
Boers of military movements in mass
and the substitution of ulmblo guerilla
warfare, a lui which Air. Davltt
thinks cannot fall to wear Great ltvlt
aiu out In the end. Tho following
sketch of De. la Rey Is from Davltt's
book:
"Jacob Hendvick Da la Rey first saw
tliu light in tho district of Uchteribuvg
fifty-four years ago. His father was
born In the Orange Free atato uiid was
of Huguenot origin, ifu took part with
Pvetovjus lu driving the Ungllsh out of
Cloemfonteln lu'1818, and had his farm
urn! property confiscated after Sir
Henry Smith had reversed the situation
by forcing the old Poor warrior biicl;
again ucross the Ynal. The Do lu iteys
sought a new home In the west of the
w
Trrthsvnnl, where Jacob llcndrlck
silent his entiy life. The generat Is n
man over tin' medium height, sinewy
In build, and remarkable for his (pilot,
dignified maimer, lie has deep set,
dark eyes, a prominent Unman nose,
nnd it largo dark-brown board, giving
to his face a strong, handsome, ftlid
lmlrlclan expression,
"lio was born ot a fighting family,
and has had tho cximiieiico and train
ing uf campaigns In conlllots with hos
tile Kalllr tribes, ills, llrst command
was in the war which tho English In
cited the Hnsutos to wagu ngalnst the
Free Statu In the early sixties, when
he was quite young. These experiences
qitalliled hint for a prominent military
position when the present war broke
out, and ho was unanimously elected
to the command of the Llclitonbnig
burghers who became part or Cronjo's
western column.
"Ho represented his native district In
the Volksvaud for ten years, and was
a consistent supporter of the Joubort,
us against the Kvttgor following In that
Assembly. He favored n large fran
chise concession to the Ulllandcrs as n
moans of averting n conflict with Eng
land; but soon saw that a demand, for
political reforms was only u pretext
for precipitating a conflict. I la was
one of the most ardent advocates of an
attacking as against a. defensive nilll
taty policy when England forced a re
sort of- hostilities upon tho Republic.
"fjikp General Cronje, ho carries no
weapons In tho Held. His field-glass,
wooden pipe, and, lasl but not least,
his Bible, arc his Inseparable compan
ions, lie Is n universal favorite with
the burghers of both Republics, and In
spires great conlldontv In his men by
Ills almost unerring military judg
ment, splendid generalship, heroic couv
age, an indomitable tenacity of pur
pose, and an all-round resourcefulness
In all emergencies. He is romarkubly
self-contained In his actions, never get
ting excited, even In the thickest of the
light, but always remaining cool, cau
tious, and nlcrt."
It is to bo hoped that a time will
come when the splendid libra, shown by
these lndomlnable iioers may have a
proper part in building up u new com
monwealth on foundations broad
enough for all mankind, to stand on
without discrimination, one against tho
other. It can hardly bo doubted that
that will be the outcome.

EDUCATION IN THE PHILIP

IMIlor of the Tiibime
Mr: To blip lemoie the piejudiee caused in
some minds as to the value of our educational
wink in the Philippines, by reason of the misstate
ment of vatioiu initios', I append for publi
tatiou the follov,iii;r letter from Dr. Fred W.
Atkinson, of Manila:
.Mr. Mailer .1. llallard, Sihencctady, X. Y.
Dear Sir: Out of a total of Si", teachers which
we now hnio, 00 are men and lil.", women. The
number of te.icbeis' station is 13.1, of which i!00
are ungari isoncd and about -1,1 gairtsoned. The
question of peisonat -jfely of the teachers has
never ailscn, in fact, I have received assui'.m.'os
from time to Unio lliat tho worker. iu the eiiu
rational movement would be well boated by Ihe
so-called inmneclos who lecognle ihe xaluo
of the woik done by the tcaihera. i have appoint
ed a eiy large number of soldier leachei,, about
half of whom .lie good'and the iet incoiupetcut
and iiicttliieiit. A good many of the latter have
alleady left the scivicu of Hie depaitment and tlie
lonner .aie still nctluir as leachei of Kngli-h.
Ol coui'-o all the teatheis iinderstuoil befoio cnin
ing over lieio tli.it they lould not expect lo llnd
here tho luxiuies so common at home; and now,
after their ititlt.il and assignment to their sta
tions, tliey hate Ic.nuid lo alcept the conditions
smli as they aie, and thoroughly inteiesled in
their woik, they enjoy their sutiouiidlngi'.
